Join Us for the Sea of Thieves Final Beta March 9-11It seems like just yesterday that we launched the Insider Programme for Sea of Thieves. We felt that getting our game into player’s hands early, learning from their feedback and growing a community around this game was critical for a new, shared-world experience like Sea of Thieves. We started with our first 1,000 players in December 2016, and we have been steadily growing the player base and feature set throughout the last year… Read more

Warframe: The New Eidolons Have ArrivedI will still never forget the moment we debuted the Plains of Eidolon at TennoCon 2017. This was something that we had miraculously managed to keep hidden for months, something that didn’t once slip out of our mouths on the many livestreams before the big reveal. Rebecca Ford, our Live Ops & Community Director, and I nervously played the demo live for thousands of Tenno in utter disbelief that what they were watching was actually Warframe… Read more

Xbox One Storytellers: CD Projekt RED on The Witcher 3: Wild HuntIt’s hard to match the narrative scope and immersive experience that a compelling story-driven game has over other storytelling mediums, allowing players not only to fall into the world of a well-crafted story but to experience it firsthand.

The Story of I in Switch – Or Die Trying on Xbox OneWe are Threye Interactive, an indie game studio from India (Threye is pronounced like the number three). We started off by making games of the war gaming genre with lots of explosions and shooting, but when we got an invite from ID@Xbox to bring one of our titles to Xbox One, we decided to go back to the basics – the classic puzzle platformer. We were looking for a game that revolved around a character… Read more

Far Cry 5 wastes no time addressing this issue, immediately introducing players to cult leader Joseph Seed – dubbed “The Father” by his fanatical followers… Read more
